However, when I look at the official therapist boards, associations and/or universities they seem more interested in moving toward a progressive worldview/language than training confident and competent therapist
As a therapist, your job is not to push an agenda on patients, create converts to your worldview, persuade, dissuade, approve, disapprove, affirm or disaffirm.
Your job is to help your patients know themselves more fully so they can become more whole and live life more freely—on their terms, not yours.
In other words: Psychotherapy is meant to expand the patient’s sense of personal agency. Not the therapist’s.
In your therapist role, it is also not your job to recruit supporters, disciples, fans, followers, groupies, or devotees. Those things are incompatible with doing psychotherapy.
The goal is for your patients to get well—then finish with you and go on to live their lives.
It’s not about us. It’s never about us. It’s about the patient.
The therapist’s needs are met through the fee and protected via the therapy frame. The rest must be 💯 about the patient
When that’s understood, everything changes.
“We refuse most emphatically to turn a patient who puts himself into our hands in search of help into private property, to decide his fate for him, to force our own ideals upon him, and with the pride of a Creator to form him in our own image and see that it is good.”
—S. Freud
This actually means more. I want us to Genghis Khan this bitch and ruin the dreams of this disgusting school. Take no prisoners, marry their women, and conquer their land. Their mascot is a god damn box of food.
If you have a man in your life that provides, shows up at home, engages in your world and the world around him…look him in the eyes say thank you and say I’m proud of you.
It looks like liberal influencers are now being paid to support Sharia Law
White liberals are making videos saying Sharia Law is “feeding the poor,” “smiling at someone,” “woman’s rights” and more
